Aquaculture production is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global food economy. Worldwide, it has increased by an average of more than 10% annually and accounts for about 50% of all fish consumed. However, production still remains far below demand, which may be connected to the high cost of fish feed. The main objective of the study was to gather information on the sources, price, availability and seasonality of ingredients and fish feeds that are available in Zambia. Furthermore, the scoping provided insights on the fish feed value chain and its influences on the country’s aquaculture industry.
